Chapter 81: Chapter 81: Young Master Lin’s Duplicity (1)

Before Lin Mubai could answer, Lan Yiqing in the back seat stared at him as if guarding against a thief, saying, "Why should Mubai’s girlfriend show you?"

This guy has been a playboy since childhood, is he trying to seduce my wife again? Absolutely not, I can’t let him see.

Feeling so criticized and guarded against, Xi Shaoqi was heartbroken, speaking with a slight choke, "Mrs. Lan, saying that really hurts my feelings."

After speaking, he playfully crossed his arms over his heart.

Lan Yiqing was immediately amused, "You rascal, always up to your antics." Xi Shaoqi was someone she had watched grow up, and she cared for him dearly, like her own son.

Seeing Lan Yiqing laugh, Xi Shaoqi, as if he’d found a treasure, happily said, "Mrs. Lan, you look so beautiful when you smile."

Xi Shaoqi meant every word sincerely.

Even though Lan Yiqing was approaching fifty, she maintained herself so well she looked like she was only in her thirties—a graceful and elegant lady. Plus, having been beautiful all her life, she exuded a mature elegance and beauty.

Every woman loves to be praised for her youth and beauty, and Lan Yiqing was no exception. She beamed with a smile, yet chiding with her words, "You’re such a sweet talker."

That evening, Lin Mubai and Xi Shaoqi stayed together at the Lin Family Mansion.

An Nan was coming back the next day, so Lin Mubai went to the company early to continue his unfinished work from yesterday.

Nearing lunchtime, even Young Master Lin was still busy in the office. Han Xiayang stood at the door, watching him for a long time, seeing that he was unresponsive, he had no choice but to enter himself.

As he walked, he teased with a sigh, "CEO, for those who don’t know, they’d think you’re working tirelessly for the company, even reading documents during lunch."

The underlying implication was, in truth, Young Master Lin you’re just a hypocrite.

Lin Mubai put down the documents in his hand, as if he hadn’t heard what the other said, he said to himself, "You go to the subsidiary in the United States, and the cooperation project with South Korea’s KM company I’ve already organized. You can send someone to negotiate the contract directly, and suspend the merger case in the United Kingdom until I give further instructions."

Listening to Young Master Lin’s words, Han Xiayang’s facial expression twisted more and more, and when Lin Mubai finally finished speaking, he slammed the table in protest, "Lin Mubai, I’m the marketing manager, not the group CEO. You’ve dumped everything on me, what are you planning to do?"

"Going to woo my wife, of course." Lin Mubai said it matter-of-factly, without a hint of shame.

Han Xiayang promptly cursed him countless times in his heart, "Lin Mubai, you shameless bastard." Outwardly, he appeared dignified and graceful, but in truth, he’s a shameless guy.

Being scolded, Lin Mubai wasn’t upset. In fact, he was in an extremely good mood today. Checking the time on his wrist, he stood up, grabbed his coat, and instructed the person in front of him as he left, "I’m heading to the airport now. I’ll temporarily leave the company matters to you, and for urgent issues, it’s the usual procedure."

After speaking, he had already disappeared from the office.

Standing in the middle of the office, Han Xiayang felt an overwhelming urge to cry, why? Why is it always him who gets the short end of the stick? Sooner or later, the work pressure will crush him, and when that day comes, he won’t let a certain bastard get away even as a ghost.
